In December, I wrote a piece for The Mane Land speaking about how Daryl Dike could benefit from Orlando City signing an experienced striker. However, given the the activity of the Lions in the MLS SuperDraft, my opinion on that matter has shifted slightly. Orlando City traded $100,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM) to the Portland Timbers for the No. 8 overall pick in the draft and filled the slot with Georgetown striker Derek Dodson.
The 23-year-old comes with an abundance of promise to his name and if his potential is realized in MLS as it was through college, he could be the man to challenge Dike in the forthcoming season and those thereafter.
